08 Mar Fall Skin Care Essentials: Four Things to Do Now!

Summer fun is coming to an end. As the weather cools down, you may need to make some changes to your skin care routine to ensure gorgeous skin this fall and winter. These skin care tips will help you look your best as you enjoy all of your favorite fall activities, from apple picking to pumpkin carving. Call today and schedule your appointment at the MediSpa by Knoxville Dermatology Group.

SAY NO TO HOT SHOWERS

As the weather cools down, it can be tempting to warm up with a hot shower, but this can wreak havoc on your skin. Overly hot showers can melt the natural oils in the skin, leaving your skin dry, itchy and irritated. Instead, opt for a more temperate shower and warm with a sweater or a mug of hot cocoa. This fall, just say no to hot showers. Your skin will thank you.

DON’T PUT THAT SUNSCREEN AWAY

As you pack up the beach toys and bathing suits, keep that sunscreen out. Summer’s over, but daily sunscreen use is not. You should use sunscreen every single day, no matter the season. Many of the common signs of aging are actually caused by UV rays. Regular sunscreen use will help your skin to look younger (and can help you to reduce your skin cancer risk). If you need a good sunscreen, come on in. We have a wide line of professional quality skin care products available.

OPT FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENTS

Fall is a busy time for all of us, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have time for cosmetic improvement. Come on in for a quick, no-downtime procedure and enjoy better looking skin this fall. Botox is a great option if you have crow’s feet. Juvederm or Restylane are wonderful for filling in wrinkles or plumping the lips. A chemical peel can brighten and rejuvenate your skin. These treatments are minimally invasive, with little to no downtime.

EXFOLIATE FOR A FRESH START

Summer can take its toll on your skin; exfoliation can help shed the dead outer layers for a fresh start this fall. Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that we can use to remove the outermost layers of skin. This treatment pairs beautifully with facials and chemical peels, but also works well on its own. Dermaplaning also removes peach fuzz for gorgeously smooth skin.

Fall is on its way and these tips will help your skin to get ready. Call us today and schedule your appointment with us.
